---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
 The Bimap 'test_bimap_sequenced' test is failing in VC10 beta due to an
 assertion failure (http://tinyurl.com/qwczko), but the actual problem
 seems to be in multi_index.

 When you run the sample:

 {{{
 using namespace boost::multi_index;

 typedef multi_index_container<
   std::string,
   indexed_by<
     random_access<>
   >
 > text_container;


 int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
 {
         text_container tc;
         tc.sort();

         return 0;
 }
 }}}

 the call to std::copy on line 190 of rnd_index_ops.hpp passes NULL as the
 third parameter (&*buf).
 The VC10 version of copy asserts if the 3rd param is NULL, causing the
 failure.
